He Wouldn't Test His Lungs

"Test your lungs. sir; only five cents
blow" said lung-tested fakir to an
awakwark-looking countryman.
mo, l don't want to try my lungs"
replied the countryman. my father
killed himself while testing his lungs"
KILLED himself! He must have
bowed pretty hard" ...
Didn't blow hard enough or he
might have been alive to-day" .
How was it, anyhow"
why. you see. he tested his lungs
by blowing into a shotgun. and If he
had blowed harder than the powder
did the shot might have gone out at the
breech instead of through the muzzle. +"

The Future of Telegraphv

When it becomes possible, as Prof.
Elisha Gray proposes it shall become,
and very soon, too, to use the telau-
tograph so that a telegraph message
shall be reproduced in fac simtie ut
the receiving end, reproducing every
feature and popularity of the sender's
caligraphy. the use and value of the
telegraph will be vastly increased and
it will become self-recording and in-
disputable means of business commu-
nication between far distant points.
OF course such an invention, which
the eminent electrician referred to has
already completed and operated, will
entirely revolutionize commercial tele-
graphy and make a message as much
an evidence as a recorded deed would
be. And when to this is added a
telephone which will record every
conversation passing through it, so as
to enatle IL to be reproduced as evil
dence in court, the triumph of speedy
and perfect communication will be
complete. In such period of rapid
and recognizable Geographic or tele-
phone Accommodation, tho polit-
ical fools may spare themselves the
trouble Of saying Burn these letters"
and Morey election tricks will become
useless. Fools will not show their follv
over the wires; rogues will not produce
evidence to convict themselves. And
when man wants to telegraph to his
wife that he twill be detained in the
Office until late,' and that she need
not sit up for him. his shaky hand
writing will be n dead give-away to
him and warn, his wife to go to the
Office and fetch him home. Indeed
the possibilities of the improvements
are illimitable. Fall Riuer AdUance.

chased foods or those of costly natur,
such as oilcake or corn meal--is {,
be recommended rs economical.
From this paper, it appears that the
rule at Rothamstead has been tina
every COW which during one week ha.
yielded from twenty-eight to thirt,
pounds Of milk per day should receive
during the following week four pounds
of decorticated cake per day, and that
subsequently for each two pounds per
day increase or decrease In the milk
yield the cake shou Id be increased OF
reduced one-fourth of a pound. Illus
trations of the results of this treat.
ment are given. One COW yielded
1912 gallons between calving and dry
ness. In the third week after calving
her yield was 4! gallons per day. AT
thirteen weeks after calving she had
not declined two pounds in the weekly
yield, and even after giving milk
twenty-six weeks the milk record show
ed forty-onc pounds for week. Al
though as much as forty five pounds of
cake was given in a week. the total
amount was only II pounds to each
gallon of milk. In this instance there
appears to be evidence that the ordin-
airy falling off in the yield was consider
ably retarded by the increased amount
of cake consumed.
THE RATION FOR PIGS.
In recent bulletin, Prof. San
born gives the result of recent feeding
tests with pigs: He finds that for a
pound of grain large hog. weighing
$50 pounds say. requires twice as
much food rs one that weighs fifty
pounds. and that in general the cost of
poand of growth, instead of being
less after $50 pounds is reached. as is
generally believed in, is always great
er. Having shown that the simple
maintenance ration of l20-pound
shoat may be less than two per cent. of
its weight, the tests prove a slight adj
vance upon this amount of food makes
comparatively smaller increase of
weight than where sufficient food ia
given to make pound or more a day.
That it is. economy to feed young pigs
up to that limit. The food needed for
this growth is less than that needed for
pure maintenance. and, therefore. til,
economy of quick fattening. The daily
growth increases up to weight of $50
to 200 pounds, and the cost of
pounds growth increases with seze I'M
ill maturity, after which this cost in
creases mos. rapidly. Continuous
growth up to the limit of pound
day is better than TO have examining
periods. The sum of the matter is
that it is most profitable to market
pigs young, and that every shoat over
eight or nine months old should be
banished. In regard to specific foods
it appears that skim milk and meals are
the most effective rations fed. that mid
dlings is the best single food, and that
cob meal, when the cobs are finely
ground, are as efficient food as clear
corn meal.-American CultiUdtor.

Mines Lighted by Electricity,

Mr.. Settle, the patentee of the water cart
ridge, by means of which dynamite is exploded
harmlessly in fiery gas or in the heart of a
barrel of gunpOwder, is managing director of
the Madeley Canal and Iron company in Stat
ford. His inventive skill has been applied
successfully to the illumination by electricity
Of the mines under his control, so that the
miners do not even require hand lamps In
their operations One Of the seams Of coal,
three feet in thickness is worked at a depth
OF AGO yards from the surface, and the wires
are supplied with a current from an upper
level Ss5 yards deep. Permanent lamps Of
sixteen candle power are fixed throughout
the workings and sixty feet distant apart
The small globe of glass which incloses the in
candescent film is surrounded by larger
globe filled with water. The illuminant glass
floats in this, and it is only when the globe Is
full of water that contact is established and
light produced. As a matter Of course, when
the glass is broken contact ceases, and the
water prevents any possibility ofan expulsion,
complete extinction being instantaneous
These lamps are not affected by air currents.

The Mysterious Rustle

The mysteries of bustles have been
long source of scientific as we'll as
speculative investigation. A hustle
worn for years by Mrs. Amelia Ames,
of Sandusky, Ohio. was found to con-
tain house and lot--or rather the
deed of the same, the absence of which
had cost several lawsuits and great
deal OF trouble and Indignation. The
Hon. John Canton. a member of the
Legislature of Wisconsin, some years
ago had two men arrested for burglary
in having stolen from his private cash
box some $4,000 in bank notes of small
denominations and they were sent ia
prison and died there; and the other
day when Mrs. Canton herself died and
her hustle was opened the finding OF
the indentical money in it occasioned
considerable merriment.- Ptiiadelphia.

The laws before court of justice, and on the

conditions, must be strained to the utmost to
protect them.

THE TwENTYOUNCE APPLE.
Where we'll known. no apple is a
greater favorite of the housewife than
the twenty-ounce. 1t is always fair,
large and a good bearer. 1t has, be-
sides, just the flavor to make good pies.
and il is very handy TO have one or two
trees near the house to come into use
after the early harvest apples have
gone. The twenty-ounce is better
